1797 married Sarah Sally Maxcy, in Attleboro, MA.
Hon. Ebenezer Daggett, of Attleboro, held a commission of Justice of the Peace for nearly 30 years. He served the town and honorably discharged its most important duties. He served the town at various times in the capacity of Selectman and was Town Clerk for upwards to 20 years. He represented the town several years on the General Court. A large part of the last 30 years of his life was occupied in some public employment. In various ways he rendered himself serviceable to his fellow citizens.
In the spring of 1831, he was elected a member of the Senate for this district. At the succeeding November election he was rechosen to the same office, and while in the discharge of the honorable and responsible duties of this station he was called by the order of Providence to close his life at Boston in the 69th year of his age.
Possessed of natural abilities above mediocrity, which he had improved by self-education, he always directed them to useful purposes. Plain and unassuming in his manners, mild and uniform in his disposition, he had won the confidence of his fellow citizens, but never sought after the honors which were bestowed upon him. Guided by fixed and pure principles, he was upright and honorable in all of his dealings with his fellow men, and preserve of a character of unsullied integrity through a long and active life. He was regarded by his neighbors as their father and adviser. If they were in difficulty or doubt, they came to him for counsel and assistance, and both were freely offered. So great was their confidence in his integrity and judgement, that he was generally chosen to umpire in cases of controversies between his fellow citizens. He was in fine, in the true and enlarged sense of the word, a useful man. His life affords an encouraging example of the truth that respectable talents, united with integrity and industry willraise a man to honor and usefulness.
